I never get tired of watching Jeff Han demo this multi-touch interface. On one hand it is completely revolutionary but on the other hand I have this mental response of “yeah of course”. It just seems like the way computing should be going. These are the kinds of innovations I want, not prettier START buttons. Jeff Han deserves a Noble Prize for this work.

I want one! I understand the ‘yeah, of course’ response to this kind of stuff because it is so intuitive but creating that interface requires firstly a complete mental breakaway from traditional wisdom when it comes to computer interfaces and secondly a whole lot of innovation with the available technology.
